RETIREE'S NEWS
Hello Everyone:
I have finally returned from a month's vacation at Ahmic Lake Resort and now find I have to be "kick-started" to function normally again. But alas, it's time once again to wine and dine
our ladies at the Lawson Road Legion - Highland Creek, on Thursday October 9. We hope to see everyone after 11:30 a.m. so we will have time to socialize before we eat. Don't
forget to r.s.v.p. Barry (at the White House) - 416-438-2458 or Al Cousins at 416-261-6858.
Roy Fletcher would like to wind up the 2008 books, but cannot until everyone has paid the '08 membership fees, so if you have not paid yet, please do so on Thursday. He would not be
upset if you choose to pay '09 in advance and would be very happy indeed to take your money. Since you will be bringing a large bag full of money for the 50-50 draw, why not include
some for Roy too?
I bring greetings from Ed and Jan Schmeler who live in Magnetawan. We had a great visit with them while up north and Ed and I went fishing on a back lake one day. Needless to say,
I caught one little bass while Ed, the expert caught almost a dozen. Sadly, he does not have a computer or as he refers to the machine as, "one of those infernal contraptions," so if
anyone wishes to contact him, his telephone number is 705-387-3368 and he would be very happy to hear you!
Turkey day is fast approaching and it's time to order your fresh one or dig a frozen bird out of the freezer for thawing. Hopefully, everyone has big plans for the holiday.
Thanksgiving dinners take about 18 hours to prepare and are usually consumed in twelve minutes. Half time takes twelve minutes. This is NOT coincidence!
Hope to see you all on Thursday!
Al

The Museum
The retirees have put a lot of time and work into turning Old Hall #1 into a museum. If you're ever in the area make the time to stop in. There are several old vehicles kept in the Hall
itself. The old garage at the rear has been renovated and now houses many artifacts. The hours are -
